I set up my guided walks with the following aims/objectives:-

1. To get fit and to pass on my love of local history/culture, famous people, battles, architecture, gardens, buildings, events and so much more in a fun way about Reading.

2. All monies go to manly local charities as a retirement hobby.

Being very successful, I now have 8 different Walkabout Routes/Themes:-

1, Main Town Centre - I talk about our Abbey, 5B's, famous people stories, dispelling 2 Myths.

2, Reading to Caversham return via Thames.

3, Famous/Not-so-Famous Women of Reading Part 1 - 12 Women.

4, Famous/Not-so-Famous Women of Reading Part 2 - Further 22 Women.

5, New Baker Street/Downshire Square Conservation Areas.

6, Reading's Famous New & Old Architecture.

7, Reading's Proud Photographic Heritage.

8, Reading Famous Crime & Criminals.

I have raised over £6,500 for local charities in the 3 years I have been operating.
